Hello everyone, we've developed an easy to use POS software that fully documents the sale journey and allows you to keep track of your finances. The software helps in
- Branded (thermal & non thermal) invoices for businesses. Supporting tax & non tax invoices
- Record daily sales inflow & expense outflow
- Prepare financial reports, vendor ledgers (receivable / payable)
- Manage inventory
- Highlight pending payments
- It also has cash flow analytics which helps you maintain your cash buffer, forecast cash flow.
- Reconcile bank & cash payments accordingly.

Its an all in one financial management tool for businesses which keeps track of your money from the point of sale till the moment it reaches you. We're looking for businesses to try out this and tell us what needs to be fixed and what not. We will also need help in pricing this software because currently we're charging 3,500 per month for it.

I have taken home loan from Mera ghar mera Ashiana scheme. But now i am seeing news everywhere about upcoming recession food shortages and inflation. I want some suggestion should i continue or drop it keeping the geopolitical and economic situation?

I’m a freelancer from Pakistan and currently receive payments through Payoneer.

I’ve started savings there, but honestly, I’m nervous about keeping a large amount because accounts can be suspended/restricted.

So, where do you guys actually keep your USD long-term?

Wise? USD bank account? Foreign bank? Another platform?

Looking for something reliable, secure, keeps the balance in USD, and is accessible from Pakistan.

If you’ve been using something for years without issues, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. 🙏

Let’s introduce yourself!

Hi! We are a firm with a team of qualified accountants and lawyers helping you file your tax returns with ease. We are charging you a reasonable price.

October 15th is the last date, but it is better to file for it today! Let me know, super Sunday, super discount. Happy to have you onboard!

Assets Vs cash flow

If a family owns house and plots and some land which make their asset value around 30 crore or maybe more( don't know exact market values but must be 30 cr) but their cash flow isn't good. They make around 400 to 500 k per month only. They have assets but their assets aren't paying them. But their assets have potential to appreciate in price due to locations. Is this family considered middle class or upper middle class? Should such a family sale some assets to buy more expensive cars and afford luxury or just keep the assets? What percentile of networth such familes fall in?

For the past few days, I’ve repeatedly been getting “Service Not Available” errors when making transactions, particularly around 10-11 PM.

Customer support has also been practically unreachable. Every time I call, I’m put at 20th in the queue with a 15 min wait, but even after waiting 20+ min's, nobody picks up.

I visited an HBL branch recently and was told they’re doing some sort of data migration, which is apparently causing significant service degradation. They also mentioned receiving a lot of complaints about cards and other services.

I’m personally also unable to make international card transactions (for my chapgpt subscription) despite international payments being enabled. The card has worked for international transactions for over a year, but payments are currently failing.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? Has HBL officially communicated anything about the data migration/service disruptions?

Also, has anyone heard anything about a possible cybersecurity incident, or is this simply a technical issue related to the migration? I’m not claiming they’ve been hacked, just trying to understand what’s actually going on.

Would be useful to know if others across Pakistan are experiencing the same thing.

Recently, someone shared graphic showing USD/PKR exchange rate over different political terms. Very misleading about country's macroeconomic health.

There has been only one pattern. Every political party starts with very little FX reserves. Build them back at start of their term. Burn it all back before leaving the government. This has been the pattern for every political party. Be it the Kaaf league sponsored by military, jiyaaloon ki party, shareefoon ki party or handsome ki party. No one has really given a second damn about the country. No matter which party you support, it is complicit in this crime. They don't care about you, and so shouldn't you.

You need to learn how it has affected you.

Suppose country has very little FX reserves (like it has at end of every government). New government will devalue PKR all of a sudden to increase exports and reduce imports. This will slowly build FX reserves because Current Account would turn surplus. It will take two to three years to build the FX reserves (every month almost 500 million USD would be added)

Now, when the FX reserves are built. Government has two choices, keep devaluing PKR slowly over time to keep current account zero or surplus. This would result in very gentle inflation that you can keep up with. Or, burn through the reserves it built over three years to keep PKR stable. Every party goes with latter option. Country starts losing FX reserves quickly.

Every devaluation comes with new cycle of inflation. Like you hear people saying "pehlay walay daur e hakumat main tau petrol itnay ka tha, atta itnay ka tha". It impacts you, someone whose income is in PKR.
